In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Snapcast on Kali Linux. Snapcast is an open source multi-room audio server that allows you to sync audio playback between multiple devices.
We assume that you have a basic knowledge of Linux commands and package management tools.
Before installing Snapcast, we need to install some necessary dependencies. Use the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libasound2-dev libvorbisidec-dev libvorbis-dev libflac-dev libogg-dev libopus-dev libsoxr-dev
The next step is to clone the Snapcast repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/badaix/snapcast.git
After cloning the repository, go to the Snapcast directory using the following command:
cd snapcast
To build and install Snapserver, run the following commands one by one:
make
sudo make install
The make command will compile the source code, and the make install command will install the Snapserver and its associated libraries.
By default, Snapserver runs on port 1704. If you want to change the port number, edit the snapserver.conf configuration file using a text editor:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/snapserver.conf
You can change the port number and other configurations according to your needs.
To start the Snapserver, use the following command:
snapserver
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Snapcast on Kali Linux. Using Snapcast, you can easily sync audio playback between multiple devices.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
